Quick question! What do Princess Mononoke, Fantastic Children or the Girl Who Leapt Through Time have in common? Well, they’re all films that Yamamoto Nizo has worked upon as an Art Director. And right now, there’s a special exhibition at the Fukuoka Asia Art Museum called The World of Yamamoto Nizo: Master of Japanese Animation… Read More The World of Yamamoto Nizo Exhibition
Sometime back, I blogged about 船乗り込み (funanorikomi) and mentioned that I was excited to watch my first Kabuki show. Well, yesterday was the day! Thanks to KUFSA (Kyushu University Foreign Students Association), I got to watch 劇団やまもも (gekidan yamamomo – Yamamomo acting troupe) for free at 那珂川 (Nakagawa). Before the show. Once we arrived, we we brought to… Read More My First Kabuki Show!
It’s officially World Cup season! While I don’t really keep up with football or sports, World Cup is one of the few sporting events that I actually watch (the other event is World Cup). Thankfully, NHK streams the matches live, so I can watch them from the comfort of my home. Assuming, that is, I… Read More MacDonald’s Japan World Cup Menu (Part 1?)
Because my life has been settling down lately, I don’t have anything interesting to share (I haven’t gone anywhere interesting). I’ll be writing about my clubs soon, like Magdalena suggested (I’m still deciding on which club to write about, since I barely go to any of them. Whoops). So since I went to watch the… Read More Movie Review: Dimensional Sniper (Detective Conan Movie #18)
Hello readers. We’re taking a break from the regularly scheduled posts about my life in Japan to look at (focus on a few random things anyway) life as a student in Kyushu University. This is really for my juniors like +Inas Wafiya Haryanto (poor Inas, I always tag you because I talk to you the most) who… Read More Kyushu University Year 2
My book review of A Geek in Japan reminded me that I wrote a review of Ghibli Musueum. Once, a long time ago (so about two years?) for another site. Unfortunately, I can’t find that site (if you do know what site it is, please let me know!), but I did save a copy of… Read More Mitaka Ghibli Museum Review
Japan has made the cat cafe popular. Recently, owl cafes have become popular. While I’ve never been to an cat cafe before, I’ve been to the owl cafe in Fukuoka three times (in my defense, I was bring people there). If you’re in Fukuoka, this is definitely a place you should visit (unless Singapore suddenly… Read More Owl Cafe Fukuoka (Review)
So yesterday, I went to Rainbow Plaza at Ims to study. On the way home, I noticed that Parm was holding an ice-cream making promotion on the first flow of Ims. Actually, it was just dipping their ice-cream in chocolate. But still! Free ice-cream! So I went and queued up! This photo was taken after… Read More Parm Chocolate Ice-cream Making Experience
I have quite a few foibles (“quirks” if we’re being charitable). One of them is the ability to digress from any given subject matter. It’s really strange, but I’ve found myself talking to people about subjects that weren’t even close to the original topic. But anyway, that is not the foible (I love that word.… Read More One foible to change
Up until yesterday, Huis Ten Bosch had a rose festival (oops, I’m not exactly on time am I?). Since I have a one-year pass (and since my cousin was in town), we went there for a day. Unfortunately, on the day we went, it was raining (and fairly windy). It rained the whole day )O.O(… Read More Huis Ten Bosch – Rose Festival (and other stuff)
